Jess- Week 5
I was avoiding putting up this blog post because I didn’t want to believe that week 5 was already over. The past six weeks flew by so quickly it is truly unbelievable. The last week was very calm and it is pretty obvious the summer is winding down. The center had it’s last week of […]
Sabine Week 6- Final Week
Wow. It’s over! I’ve completed my Pinhead internship! It flew by so quickly. In the lab, we didn’t really do any new protocols or anything. This week, we used the micro RNA that had been isolated last week to find out if micro RNA 335 was affected in the mice that had the Mest gene knocked […]
Week six-Aaron
My last week in Auburn was one I’ll always remember. It was full of laughs and excitement, new found friends that I’ll never forget. The only thing I didn’t like about my final week was the goodbyes. It’s hard to believe that you can get to know people in such a short amount of time […]
Marten: Week Four
Hello everyone reading my blog. It’s the end of week four meaning I am already two thirds of the way done with my internship. This seems crazy to almost be leaving because I’ve been here for an entire month but my time is more than half over. This week was actually pretty exciting. On Monday […]
Noah Perkovich Week One: Mine Exploration Geology
A week ago I left home by car on my way to learn about mining in Nevada. The drive took twelve hours. Along the way I saw a large forest fire. I got to the town of Eureka Nevada (home for the next month). The first thing I did was drive through town to a […]
Jess- Week 4
I cannot believe how quickly my time here has gone. I really do feel like I just got here and I am amazed that I am more than half way through my internship. I have meet so many truly inspiring people since I have been out here. Everyone I have met has tried to help […]
Danielle- Week 3 and 4
Hi again everyone! So week 3 passed by so quickly that I didn’t even get a chance to write my blog post on time, so I’m just going to combine week 3 and 4. These weeks were action packed and full of fun things both inside and out of the lab. Research-wise, I ran polyalalanine […]
Sabine Week 5
Things are getting pretty routine, by now. I’ve gotten comfortable with the protocols/procedures in the lab. For example, during my first week, Rob gave me a procedure for DNA isolation to read over, with the intention that it would give me an idea of what we would be doing when we actually carried the procedure […]
Marten: Week Three
Last Weekend everyone from the team went on a group bike ride together and it was pretty awesome. My dad also came out to visit me and we went camping at Estes park and went hiking and swimming in alpine lakes. It’s incredible how little I have explored the front range considering how close I […]
Zach Week Five
Week Five I am flying through my internship, so fast it will be gone before I realize. Already, I am starting to wonder where my weeks went. As it was for my last few months in France, these last few weeks in San Diego have skipped by too fast, leaving in their wake memories […]
